Women have suffered for centuries from the worst symptoms of menopause, which include hot flashes, depression, pain during sex, and insomnia. So why don't we have better solutions? Susan Dominus, staff writer at The New York Times Magazine, joins us to discuss her new piece "Women Have Been Misled About Menopause," which examines how women have been denied potentially helpful menopause treatments for decades. She'll also take your calls on the subject.

Pulitzer Prize winning author Tracy Kidder joins us to discuss his latest book, Rough Sleepers: Dr. Jim O'Connell's Urgent Mission to Bring Healing to Homeless People. The book tells the story of Dr. O'Connell and his work bringing healthcare to the homeless population of Boston. Dr. O'Connell will join us as well.

"Murder in Big Horn," a new docuseries that premiered at Sundance, focuses on multiple cases of missing indigenous women in Big Horn County, Montana. In interviews with native leaders, families as well as law enforcement a tension between the two is palpable. Directors Razelle Benally and Matthew Galkin join to discuss.

As part of our 25th anniversary album series, Silver Liner Notes, we look at the legacy of Neutral Milk Hotel's seminal indie rock album, In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. To discuss its legacy, we're joined by Lance Bangs and Rob Hatch-Miller, producer and executive producer of the documentary "The Elephant 6 Recording Co." about the collective from which the band emerged. Bangs was also a friend of the band and recorded a live album for them in 1997, which is included in the new box set, The Collected Works of Neutral Milk Hotel out February 24th.
